After seeing this on the list of the highest rated Lupicia teas on this site, I knew I had to try it the next time I stopped by the store. Fortunately, this tea was in stock when I visited.
The dry blend consists of sizable green tea leaves and chestnut pieces. (I tried to nibble on one, but it was quite fossilized, so I wouldn’t recommend doing so!) There’s a faintly sweet chestnut aroma, which becomes more apparent once brewed. The tea liquor is a clear, light yellow-green, and the flavor is a welcoming blend of roasted chestnuts and light, crisp, very springtime-ish green tea. It is a touch sugary, which is probably from the preparation of the nuts, but not enough to detract. As a cozy tea it’s perfect, comforting without being overly strong or too heavily flavored.
